Coasters

[Andrew]

Xpres' prices are going up all the time for the last 6 months. No matter how many I offer to buy I can't get the price back down to where I was a few months ago........ and I was actually looking to get them cheaper.

It has happened a few times lately with Xpres. Don't know if it is very bad timing on my behalf but both with mugs and coasters I have phoned to place an order 3 or 4 times larger than my norm as I have a big job on and they end up charging me more than what I bought at last time.

[Justin]

Have they gone up that much? I think I used to pay £18 for 40 and now pay £19.

[Andrew]

Yeah, it's only about £1 up but I was upping the quantity to try and get the price down. I was hoping to get a £1 off...... atleast. I had a price rise about 6 months ago as well.

[Justin]

I'm sure some of the other suppliers would be able to source the 90mm coasters?

[TransferGraeme]

We will have 90mm square coasters available early next week at a "competitive" price!

If there is a demand for 90mm circular coasters we could get them into stock in around 10 days.

[Andrew]

I don't mind if they are not Unisub as long as it has an equivalent surface/standard. And more importantly cheap, they are after all just a bit of hardboard with a nice shiny surface 30p I reckon is about right as a starting point.

[Justin]

Agreed with that.....and as long as the edges are nice and smooth as well

Our 90mm coasters are made out of the UniSub board. If you're looking to get a co-op purchase together of 1000+ coasters then I'm sure we can get the costs down - probably not into the 30p bracket though!

[TransferGraeme]

30p??? That's ..... um ..... "optimistic" - we have to eat too you know - to be absolutely honest we're just fine tuning the price but it will certainly be competitive.

But a good surface and nice clean laser cut edges I can certainly guarantee!

And what happened to the light wood slotted coaster holders? Aren't they available anywhere anymore? I preffered them to the darker ones.
